The pivoting front strap of the grip controls the squeeze cocking mechanism. Squeezing it cocks the P7, releasing uncocks and renders the P7 safe. If the slide is locked back squeezing releases the slide. To recock: release and squeeze again (something to try if the round doesn't go off the first strike).
BTW, the P7 is a gas retarded blowback action. The slide has a piston that enters a cylinder under the barrell. Vented gas enters that cylinder and keeps the action closed long enough.
Never, ever fire Nyclad ammo in a P7 (the chamber is fluted and the nylon stuff packs into the flutes. Ruined a 44 caliber bore brush cleaning that stuff out). Since that first box, I've never fired anything but jacketed ammo in my P7. I can't remember any jams after that one box of Nyclad.
Mags weren't cheap even back then, but I have 4.
